Let’s Have Some Winter Fun!

It’s a magical time of year following the holidays and ringing in the New Year. But now that the kids' holiday excitement may be turning into boredom, how are you going to spend your time until they go back to school? If you don't have one already, I’ve got just the plan for you.

Chicago is chock full of family activities for the winter. I remember as a kid sledding on a hill near my house in Robichaux Park every winter break. It was oodles of fun. I have since indoctrinated my children into this tradition at Cricket Hill at Montrose Beach.

Whether indoors or out, check out these fun winter activities. (Some of these destinations may require paid admission or equipment fee. Check individual websites for details.)
